Climate Change Has Entered a New Phase:We Are Beginning to Live It

Bloomington, IN – On a global scale, 2018 is shaping up to be the fourth-hottest year on record.  The only years hotter were the past three.  In fact, 17 of the past 18 years have been the warmest since record-taking began in 2001.

We cannot consider this just a hot year, according to Stephen Ashkin, president of The Ashkin Group and the professional cleaning industry’s leading advocate for sustainability.  This is a trend, he believes. The planet is getting hotter and will become even hotter in years to come.

“We’ve been getting warnings that this was coming for more than two decades, says. Ashkin. “It has been evolving in small increments [but] is moving much faster now, and most of us are simply not prepared for it.”

Ashkin points to the following heat-related situations around the globe that may have received only moderate press in North America:

  • In Europe, nuclear power plants have been shut down because the river water that cools the plants is too warm to use
  • Heat has resulted in more than a dozen deaths in Japan
  • Twenty-nine deaths in South Korea have been attributed to record high temperatures over 104 degrees (F)
  • The UK is having its driest year in 57 years
  • Norway, Sweden, and Finland are suffering from major wildfires. Wildfires are not that common here. Again, this is blamed on record high heat.

“And we can’t ignore what is happening here at home,” Ashkin adds. “The massive fire in California is now the largest in the state’s history. I’m sure it is related to the fact that parts of Southern California are experiencing record-breaking temperatures over 115 degrees (F).”

Ashkin says he is aware that attributing climate change to “human-made” greenhouse gas emissions is controversial in some industry sectors. However, most all scientists around the world believe these gas emissions are the culprit.

“What I’m most worried about is how this is going to impact food, water, and energy supplies around the world,” Ashkin says. “We are no longer studying climate change – we are beginning to live it.”
